Another object ofthe present invention isv to provide an improved springfbracket and arm with Vthe `visor adjustably mountedl on the outerendof;Y the arm and the armbeing frictionallyheld for longitudinal sliding movement in the bracket,

and wherein the bracket maybe pivotallysupported against theroof of-the vehicle so that'the bracket may Abe swung into"V various ypositions about .its pivot to disposethe visor `at Lthe side or'in front of the operator. p i f With .the foregoing and other objectsin view, the invention will be more -V fully described hereinafter, and will be. more fparticularlyupointed out in the claims appended hereto. y f

A M y Referringnow tojthe. drawing, 10 designates an attaching plate or strip of suitable width and length and which is adapted to be secured against the under side of a vehicle roof 11 by means of screws 12 or the like which may be engaged in one of the cross ribs 13 of the roof 11.' TheV plate l pivotally carries a bracket 14. .The bracket Y 14 is in the form of a resilient strap having its opposite ends turned downwardly and provided .the present invention is -to profV 1,6 when inthe bracket. fr I, 1 d The bracket 14 is pivotallyfmounted;uponthe plate intermediate the ends of kthe bracket 14,y by means of .a threaded pini?? which may have a kerfed head atits-uppler end'f'co'untersunkgin the. n

upper surface Yof theplate 10, and' which hasa" washer 18 of rubberor other suitableniaterial adaptedto be compressed between the plateV 10 and the bracketlllby means offa nut-19 threaded on the lower end ofthe pin V'17.A 'lhe'nut 19 is adapted 'to be turned up Iagainst'the under side shank projecting downwardlythrQugh'ka friction,

of the bracketv 14 t tension theb'racket against, 20 the rubber washer. v18 so as to yieldingly rhold the bracket in', adjusted position 'axially about the, pivot pin`17. The Aresilient varml is rolled over.

at its rear end to provide a handle 20 although v anyv otherjsuitable configuration may be given to the ar1n16 to accomplish the purpose. 'The fore ward end of the Aarm 16 passes beyond thebracket 14 and-beneatha deflecting nger 21"which is n relatively stiff and curvedv forwardly and downf.r

Wargny fromthehracket A14, toen'g'ageand hold" Y the intermediate .portion of the arm 16 below the plane of the .adjacent slot 15 so that the afrmfli is curved downwardly andfdirectedtoward the intermediate portionof thewindshield 22 ofthe. vehicle. The armr21 is' secured alongfthe upper face of the' bracket 14 'by a rivet '23, and the rear end of the linger 21 is apertured for. receivinglthe pin 17 therethrough so asv to hold the iinger'from turning on the bracket; j The forward lower end of the arm 16 isrolled over to provide an eye 24 whichpextends transy versely of the'arm'and forms ahousing for a friction block 25 of rubber or the like which is conithe block 25A for compressingthelatter, andthe. Y

nuts 27 may be adjusted fortensioning .the turning of the stem 26 in the eye 24. vThe stem 26 is 1 turned downwardly at one end and pivotally en.-

gages through a yoke or frame 29 for the visor..` The stem is provided with ahead 30 on its lower end beneath the frame 29 and also. has a pair of.
